The Lindisfarne Story is a celebration of the life, times and music of the North East of England’s most beloved band – and the show’s current tour includes a date at Backstage at the Green Hotel, Kinross, on Thursday, March 21.

Founder member and drummer Ray Laidlaw and front man Billy Mitchell tell the remarkable story with a combination of rare video, unseen photographs, acoustic versions of their favourite Lindisfarne songs and a smattering of scurrilous gossip.

Ray and Billy created this show in 2012 as a fresh and original way to perform Lindisfarne music and share the group’s history with Lindisfarne fans.

After two successful Lindisfarne Story UK tours in 2015 and 2016, Ray and Billy decided it was time for another chapter – and there’s so much more to talk about since the last tour.
